Great video, valuable information, well done mate! Thank you for making this!
Glad it is useful to you, any questions, just ask.
No frills straight to the point vlog on interesting places in the Peloponnese peninsula. Great vlog and very informative!👍
Thank you, I am not great at frills! Glad it was useful.
Great and informative video! Thank you for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it, the Peloponnese has so much to offer. I should do a follow up with the 30 best places!
When you visit nafplio you must visit tolo is so so beautiful love you Greece I hope to see you next year a gain
Tolo is nice, other beaches round there are good too
These are very good suggestions. I would also recommend visiting limeni (or the whole mani) and elafonisos (plus Neapoli Voion and nearby) for people who enjoy either pure relaxation or nature exploration.😊
I agree, there are many other places visiting too, I may do a follow up. Glad you didn't disagree with my thoughts!!
I can't believe this channel doesn't get more views, another great travel guide to the Peloponnese! Porto Cheli and Spetses on our list for next visit.
Thank you, I wish I got more views too!!! A little off season at the moment I think, but fingers crossed for next year!!! Really kind of you. Maybe my thumbnails need work.
Excellent!! We were fortunate to have visited most of your suggestions, and we thank you for naming our beautiful town of Nafplio your number one pick. Thank you.
Thanks Frank, I need to come and film Asini and Deprano in the New Year!
We look forward to it.
Thank you so much for taking the time and generously sharing this excellent list! We love the Peloponnese and will definitively follow your advice!
Thank you for putting faith in me. I plan to do some more 'exploration vids from Feb / March, so I hope they continue to help!
Amazing video !!!❤
Your channel is my honeymoon planner
No pressure!!!! Happy to offer thoughts if you want. Good luck too!
Thanks for this well documented video, this area of Greece looks of real interest to me as I haven't visited the area as yet, thank you so much for sharing this vlog, very much appreciated.
Thank you, I live her so I can recommend. Well worth 2 or 3 days in a hire car doing a road trip, I may recommend one in a vid soon.
@@GreeceExplored Thank you for your reply, what a lovely place to live, I love Greece, the people are simply the most hospitable warm people I have had the pleasure in meeting.
I agree!!!!@@stephenwood9104
Really amazing ❤
Glad you enjoyed! and thanks for commenting.
Looking at a 14 day trip this October. Do you have a rough itinerary to fill the days without a bunch of driving everyday? Maybe a few home bases where we could do short drives to different areas? Thank you ❤
Hello, 14 days in October, weather is really past swimming and beaches so I don't know what you really enjoy but I suggest 4 days in Athens, then use Nafplio as a base for Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus, perhaps 2 or 3 nights, then go to Kalamata as a base and visit Monemvasia, Ancient Messini and perhaps Pylos, then youcould go to Olympia and on to Patras for a night, before going across the Rio Antirio bridge to Delphi and perhaps back to Athens. That would work.
Excellent Video! I am planning to visit Athens and Peloponnese region in April with my husband and definitely will follow your advise! We are thinking to rent a car on the last day of visiting Athens and we are thinking to stay in Nafplio as base and from there visit the places you have mention on your video or do you think we should stay in 2 or 3 different places, we are going to be 6 days in the Peloponnese Region and 3 days in Athens!
Car is definitely the way to go and generally the roads are good. Were you stay depends what you want to see, personally I think Nafplio, Kalamata and Pylos are well located but as I said, it depends what you want to see. Aeropoli or Gytheio is also an option.
I'm looking to take a two week trip to Greece in October/November. I plan on spending part of my time on the mainland seeing historical sites and the other on Zakynthos (I have friends there I'm meeting). I really am more interested in seeing historical sites rather than beaches (history nerd here). If I'm basing myself in Athens for let's say a week, do you recommend me renting a car or using the bus system?
100% rent a car, especially that time of year. the roads in the Peloponnese are easy and quiet at that time, you can also do a fairly easy loop round the Peloponnese to cover most things, I plan to do a vid on a road trip, but am still planning it.
@@GreeceExploredOkay thank you I am looking forward to it!
So disappointed you put Ancient Messini on your list. I was hoping we could keep it a secret.😉
It could have been top of my list, but the museum at Olympia is something else....
@@GreeceExplored I agree with your list…I might have jiggled a few but you chose the best in your top 10. Nafplio is certainly wonderful. Don’t tell them about Cape Tenaro, Porto Kagio, Gythio etc. Ancient Messini would always be top of my list…even now when it costs more than €4 to enter, i have loved watching the excavations over the past couple of decades. But shhhhh! 😉😉
The experience of walking around an ancient site with only 2 other visitors doing the same is unbeatable……….just sublime.
@@celiabarker Glad you generally agree. I do have a couple of vids on Tenaro, Areopoli, Gytheio etc, and a stand alone on Ancient Messini too, I got a bit nerdy about the place.
@@celiabarker Totally agree, everyone goes to Epidavros, Olympia etc... and Messini isn't that easy to find, but when you do...
